Chapter 43: The Gentleman's Sudden Move

  After about ten minutes, Anna finally walked away with a swaying waist. Guan Xuan looked around and searched for that familiar figure. When he saw the little woman leaning forward, frowning slightly and sighing, her mouth corners slightly hooked up.

  "What's going on? Can't move like this?"

  As soon as Ning heard his tone of teasing, he suddenly felt depressed.

  "It's all you, why are you walking so fast? My feet must be blistered..." She pouted, wanting to complain loudly, but the tone... somehow sounded like she was being playful.

  Her eyes slightly closed, and the next second, an arm stretched out, holding her waist, saying "Let's go, I'll take you to see."

  The VIP lounge was elegant and comfortable. The string quartet crouched down, suddenly grasped her foot with one hand, took off her shoes, and turned them left and right, the action smooth and effortless.

  Her eyes widened in shock, completely stunned, and it took her a while to react, "Y...you're doing what?"

  The strings didn't care about her, and she leaned in to take a closer look. She saw that the back of her heel was red and had minor abrasions. She raised her head, with an unpleasant tone, "Lemon, are you stupid? Your foot hurts and you don't even know how to make a sound."

  "I... I just found out too, okay?!" Ning Meng felt that she was still being wronged, could she be blamed for this? She was a hardworking and diligent person, yet she was still being disliked. Suddenly her face sank, and with a huff, she ignored him. When she lifted her head again, she saw that he had turned around and walked out.

  What a lack of gentlemanly demeanor. She secretly scolded him in her heart. Although she was still angry, her foot still hurt terribly. She hugged her foot and gently rubbed the painful area, but when she touched the broken skin, she felt a sharp pain, gritted her teeth, half-closed her eyes, and muttered to herself.

  "What's being whispered?"

  She raised her head, a handsome face suddenly enlarged in front of her eyes, "Ah...... you scared me."

  "Are you scolding me?" Guan Xian raised an eyebrow and asked, "Despicable? Inhuman?..."

  She hastily waved her hand, "How could that be? General Guan is so young and promising, wise and brave, kind and loving..."

  "Who knew I was so good?" Guan Xian said coldly, his voice as chilly as ice water.

  Ning Meng smiled. Watching him bend down, his palm grasped her foot, his slender fingers moved slightly, and the back of her foot felt a chill. The soft gauze touched the wound, feeling a bit more comfortable.

  It was a band-aid. She smiled slightly and muttered, "Thank you."

  "You can't wear these shoes anymore." Guan Xian sighed, holding up the silver high-heeled shoes.

  Ning Meng made a bitter face, "Still put it on, how can you go out without shoes?"

  Guan Xian had no choice but to put her shoes back on for her, then grasped her arm and pulled her up in one swift motion. "Let's head back first."

  "Go back?" Ning Meng asked cautiously, "The party seems to have just started, can we do this?"

  "After all, we've met the people we needed to meet and given the gifts. There's nothing that can't be done." Guan Xian said matter-of-factly, his arm on her shoulder pressing down gently, making her lean against him, "Lean on me, it'll make walking easier."

  Ning Meng was slightly moved, it seems that capitalists occasionally also have a gentlemanly demeanor.
